Kia Soul EV to Arrive In Georgia And Four Other States By This Summer

With sales figures posting significantly higher than expected, Kia Motors America is changing its market strategy for the Soul EV by looking beyond zero emission “compliance” states. After the initial debut of the Soul EV last October in California, Kia planned to send the battery electric to markets in Oregon, New York, New Jersey and Maryland. These are all states that have pledged to adhere to California’s zero emission mandate. But with sales coming in much higher than anticipated, Kia is rethinking that strategy. Instead, the next state slated for the Soul EV will be Georgia, with sales beginning next quarter. The region has recently been marked as a hotbed for electric cars, with Atlanta ranking first in the nation for EV sales. Kia noted that Georgia car buyers will have plenty of options for charging, with more than 2,800 stations across the state. SEE ALSO: 2015 K...
